Plant Advice Please

[magunn]

I would like the name of recommended plants for my tank. I am looking for a tall background plant that likes the acidic pH 6.4, very soft water I have AND that can cope with poor light levels (2*25W T8 bulbs, in a 1M tank)

Well, plants dont really care about pH but...
I reckon Crypt Balansae would do ok. I was going to suggest vallis but it's harder to keep vallis in softwater conditions.

Hygrophila polysperma never fails


Aponogeton crispus 'Red' and Echinodorus uruguayensis are worth a look too.

Thanks for the advice. I have tried vallis unsuccessfully hence the cry for help
